Cassidy James Mysteries #8
Achter Tag
Camp Turnaround claimed to be a place for troubled kids, a desperate last chance before jail or worse. The slick, glossy brochure declared that it would help them do just what it`s name implied, turn their lives around. But then a mother gets a cryptic letter from the troubled daughter she lost in a long ago custody fight. She asks Cassidy James to find out the truth -- is it just the bizarre practical joke of a wayward teen -- or something much more sinister? There are many dangers in this beautiful lush valley -- dangers to the child Cass is trying to protect, to the other children, to herself. And to her heart. It isn`t safe to fall in love when she doesn`t know who to trust -- but her passion won`t wait for safety.

Okay read!
For the final book in this series, it needed revising and editing -- way too many errors. Otherwise it could have been a much better enjoyable plotline and as to that supposedly romantic relationship, meh or no!

"8th Day", first published in 2001, marks the end of the eight-book Cass James series.
I am sorry to part company with Cass after she has shared her life with me over the last week or so. It's rare to find a series that keeps dragging you back in, book after book, and ending on a high note. "6th Sense" was the weakest, but both "7th Heaven" and "8th Day" are excellent reads.
At the start of "8th Day" Cass is once again a lone lesbian, having broken up with long-time on-off lover Erica Trinidad.
A troubled teen, Maddie, has been forcibly taken to Camp Turnaround, an institution supposed to get troubled youth back on track. In a coded letter sent home she alleges that one of the teachers has been killed and that it has been covered up. Her mother, Connie, has just been released from prison after serving nine years for vehicular manslaughter. She wants her daughter back and Cass is just the woman to make it happen.
It's time for Cass to join the teaching staff at Camp Turnaround. To say much more would be to let the cat out of the bag. Suffice it to say that Cass may finally find her true love (at least for a while based on previous experience).
I'm missing Cass already - thank you Kate Calloway for a great series.

Highly recommend this series. May just be because it’s most recently read but thought this was probably my favourite one. Can read any as standalone but they follow chronological order and do have references to earlier events.
Whole series has good characters, engaging writing, just enough mystery to keep you interested without being absurdly convoluted.
Written a while back so there is out of date tech references - landlines and pagers!? But storylines themselves are all still relevant.
Thoroughly enjoyed them.

So good I have to find the others in the series, and it's also a good standalone book.
